MorphOS: SearchStar 0.93 and PowerPC Assembly Guide
Besides his search tool SearchStar 0.93, which is four times faster now when searching within files, Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin has also released an HTML guide called "Welcome to PowerPC assembly".

The author points out that increased internet traffic at his provider may lead to incomplete file downloads. In this case he requests to try again later. (snx)

Commodore emulator VICEplus for AROS64
Past Tuesday, Marco van den Heuvel has also made available a VICEplus version for the 64 bit version of the open-source operating system AROS.

VICEplus is a derivative of the well-known Commodore emulator VICE. In contrast to the original project, VICEplus not only emulates all 8 bit computers released by Commodore, but also the C64 clone C64DTV, released a few years ago, which brings along some improvements compared to its role model, like 256 colors and a blitter, for instance.

Video: Atari ST versus Commodore Amiga in pictures
Under the title link, a video was made available by the YouTube user 'Ahle2', which contrasts pictures of the same games in the Atari ST and the Amiga versions, respectively.

Despite the restrictions due to the low quality of YouTube videos, on the one hand, the graphical superiority of the Amiga back then becomes obvious, but also, on the other hand, how much the Atari graphic artists were able to squeeze out of their computer, despite the limitation to 16 colors.

Titles of the compared games:
1. Rainbow Island
2. SWIV
3. Defender of the Crown
4. Speedball 2
5. Batman
6. Shadow of the beast (Psygnosis opening credits)
7. Shadow of the beast
8. R-Type II
9. Mega lo Mania
10. Dogs of War
11. Turrican
12. Risky Woods
13. Robocop 2
14. The Great Giana Sisters
15. Ghost 'n Goblins
16. Wings of Death (snx) (Translation: cad)

E-Mail Client: YAM 2.5
Press release: The YAM (Yet Another Mailer) open source development team is pleased to announce the immediate release of its stable 2.5 version. After nearly 5 years of constant, restless development, the 2.5 version is the currently most stable and most advanced version of the famous Amiga e-mail suite.

The 2.5 version, apart from very important bug fixes, comes with a largely enhanced user interface with new capabilities like, e.g. an embedded read pane functionality to directly read e-mails without having to open separate read windows. Or even a new search bar allows to quickly search for e-mails or sort them according to predefined categories. Furthermore, YAM was largely reworked internally to perform not only more securely and less cumbersomely. It also comes with important technical enhancements like non-blocking I/O based socket connections allowing the GUI to become more responsive or improved compatibility to common internet standards (RFC). In addition, large internal reworks were performed to be able to implement features like IMAP support or native HTML mail display in one of the next versions.

Therefore, we are indeed very happy to supply you this stable 2.5 release not only right before Christmas, but also right before we are going to start on working on some more interesting things in the upcoming year.

Enjoy the 2.5 version and happy yamming...

With immediate effect, YAM 2.5 is available for download in Aminet and at sourceforge.net. (cg) (Translation: cad)

CD³²-Allianz: Status of registrations 2007
Press release This year we again want to inform you about the status of registrations of CD³² consoles, CDTV devices and FMV modules.

The are the figures:
  • CD³²: 911 (2005: 337 / difference: +574)
  • CDTV: 87 (2005: 27 / difference: +60)
  • FMV-modul: 22 (2005: 17 / difference: +5)
We want to thank all who did participate in registration!

Because of figures of the CD³² registrations we could determine that obviously a larger number of CD³² were produced than expected (100.000). In our opinion at least 127.772 CD³² consoles were produced. (snx) (Translation: dr)
